The first thing we need to do after we buy Lucky Bamboo home is to cut the bottom of the branch 45 ° obliquely to keep its stem fresh, increase the contact area between the cut and water, and facilitate the rooting of the plant.
Put the processed Lucky Bamboo into the bottle, cut off all the leaves below the mouth of the bottle, add water to 1 /3 of the height of the bottle, about 15cm deep, and change water every day before rooting.
When Lucky Bamboo just appeared in hydroponics, flower friends don't have to worry about it, because it didn't have long roots, and it also consumed nutrients. After rooting, it will grow new leaves!
Some water cultured Lucky Bamboo of Huayou start to rot before rooting. At this time, the rotten part often starts from the bottom. Don't worry, correct operation can save it.
Once it is found that the bottom of the stem is rotten and blackened, cut off the rotten part in time, continue to cut at an angle of 45 ° according to the operation at the time of purchase, promote its rooting again, and change water frequently.
Although there is no rotten stem, it will affect the plant growth. It is better to reduce the plant height and maintain the stem at 40 ~ 50cm by this method.
After rooting, if yellow leaves appear, they are usually caused by the following reasons. Parents can control them according to their own maintenance methods.
1. The temperature is too low. (keep warm in winter)
2. Plants are short of water. (water level maintained)
3. Lack of nutrition. (supplement nutrient solution)
If there is a slight yellow leaf, remove the yellow leaf and adjust the maintenance method in time; if the yellow leaf is serious and even the stalk is slightly yellow, cut off the yellow part.
After beheading, the Lucky Bamboo will continue to be maintained. As long as the remaining culms are green and healthy, new shoots will be produced at the nodes of the culms again, and new and more robust young Lucky Bamboo will grow up.
There are many tips on the maintenance of rich and precious bamboos, such as adding nails to prevent yellow leaves, adding medicine to promote growth, but if your rich and precious bamboos don't take root, please don't try it easily.
In addition, the Lucky Bamboo in hydroponics is not better than that in soil culture. It does not need too much sunlight. It is easy to turn yellow leaves when it is too bright. The bright light scattering place in the home is enough for its vigorous growth.
When the Lucky Bamboo does not take root, it is necessary to change the water frequently. After taking root, observe the muddy water to change the secondary water. If there is no water, make up the water in time, but maintain a stable and optimal water level.
At last, the Lucky Bamboo in hydroponic culture are afraid of freezing. If the temperature of the home is low in winter and there is no heating, the bamboo in hydroponic culture can be transformed into soil culture to improve its frost resistance.
